The Science Of A Great Subway Map. The most famous New York City subway map is the one New Yorkers rejected. That would be Massimo Vignelli's system map from 1972. Vignelli's modernist design stressed visual clarity over geographical precision; all the lines ran vertical or horizontal, for instance, and rectangular Central Park was rendered as a square.
